Abstract
We investigate the queue number of posets in terms of their width, that is, the maximum number of pairwise incomparable elements. A long-standing conjecture of Heath and Pemmaraju asserts that every poset of width w has queue number at most w. The conjecture has been confirmed for posets of width \(w=2\) via so-called lazy linear extension.
We extend and thoroughly analyze lazy linear extensions for posets of width \(w > 2\). Our analysis implies an upper bound of \((w-1)^2 +1\) on the queue number of width-w posets, which is tight for the strategy and yields an improvement over the previously best-known bound. Further, we provide an example of a poset that requires at least \(w+1\) queues in every linear extension, thereby disproving the conjecture for posets of width \(w > 2\).
